Interconnect Cables
D1
D1, this cable also uses UPOCC copper litz wire, but is a hybrid design using silver-plated copper and teflon mil-spec wire for the ground leg. It also use Furutech CF-601 rhodium plated RCA plugs or FP-700 series XLR plugs for best value. While this cable is the least expensive, it’s also an amazing value and the cable that started ZenWave Audio. It’s a giant-killer of a cable if there ever was one!
from $215
D2
D2, a top end UPOCC copper cable made using litz type wire. This is intended for those who prefer a pure copper cable and it retains a lot of resolution and performance by using the litz-type wire, but also has a full, warm and lush sound.
from $479
D3
D3, a hybrid silver, silver/gold alloy and copper cable that uses the same design as the D4 and D5, simply with less expensive wire that saves a lot of expense and gets you very close to the D4’s performance level. The main difference is it’s warmer and a little less resolving, but still maintains the resolution necessary to achieve a 3-D, immersive presentation.
from $1019
DSR
DSR, a UPOCC silver ribbon cable with 17g conductors and super low capacitance. This is the clearest and most exciting sounding IC cable ZenWave offers, the pure silver offers a degree of speed and dynamics with crisp leading edges AND a total lack of fatiguing artifacts only UPOCC silver can offer. The massive gauge of the conductors and the ribbon wire design offer you this performance along with more body, more density and tone, plus larger image size vs a round wire, lighter gauge cable. This cable is most similar to top end Wireworld or Siltech designs, but at very reasonable prices, and as it’s built by hand I can use better materials for the jacketing, such as pure, unbleached cotton batting instead of compressed synthetic fiber for filler.

D4
D4, a UPOCC silver/gold alloy cable with just enough gold added to achieve proper tone and realistic timbre in neutral to warm systems. This is the most accurate cable on offer and is a true reference standard. A great majority of folks who demo the D4 buy it, in fact over 80%, so be careful!
from $1799
D5
D5, a UPOCC silver/gold cable with more gold vs the D4 and intended for modern super-low distortion systems using hard-coned drivers and SS amplification. Those with Accuton based speakers including Marten, Evolution Acoustics and more, Magico, YG, etc. may prefer the D5 to the D4 as it’s closer in performance to top end copper cables from Jorma, Audience, Kubala-Sosna, Tara, etc. It is slightly softer and warmer vs the D4, but the warmth of gold produces a more realistic timbre vs copper, and many owners of these type of systems are willing to sacrifice the last drop of detail for a more realistic tone and timbre… if this is the case the D5 may be for you! It’s warmth is a lot like adding a good tube preamp vs copper.
